Firewall & Network Security Consulting
Your network perimeter is the first line of defense — and the most common point of misconfiguration. We provide firewall consulting across seven enterprise platforms, with hands-on experience from financial services, aviation, and international organizations. Platform-agnostic: we work with the firewall you already have, or recommend the right fit for your environment. No vendor partnerships. No influenced recommendations.

What's Included
- New firewall deployment and full policy configuration
- Migration from legacy platforms (ASA to FTD, on-prem to Azure Firewall)
- Security policy review and hardening — identifying overly permissive rules and compliance gaps
- Site-to-site VPN and SSL VPN design and implementation
- Network segmentation and Zero Trust architecture
- Ongoing firewall management and rule lifecycle maintenance
- Incident response and forensic policy analysis
Who This Is For
US businesses of 5–150 employees with no dedicated internal IT security staff
- Businesses deploying a firewall for the first time and needing a properly configured perimeter
- Organizations running an aging ASA or on-premises appliance and considering migration to a modern NGFW or cloud-native firewall
- Regulated businesses in finance, healthcare, or legal needing documented compliance alignment with HIPAA, SOC 2, or NIST CSF
What You Get
Concrete outcomes from every engagement
Documented
Policy Documentation
Every rule, every object, every VPN tunnel documented. Runbooks for your team and audit-ready firewall policy records for HIPAA and SOC 2 compliance reviews.
Hardened
CIS Benchmark Alignment
Configurations validated against CIS benchmark baselines as standard. Scope extends to HIPAA, SOC 2, NIST CSF, and ISO 27001 for regulated environments.
Fixed Price
Predictable Costs
Fixed-price projects available for standard deployments. Engagements start with a policy review (1–2 days) followed by a scoped remediation or deployment — no surprise billing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which firewall vendors do you work with?
Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Cisco ASA/FTD, Cisco Meraki MX, FortiGate, SonicWall, and pfSense/OPNsense. For US SMBs, Meraki MX and FortiGate are the most common deployments — Meraki for organizations already in the Cisco ecosystem and FortiGate for those that need more granular policy control or have compliance requirements around next-gen firewall logging. Recommendations are vendor-neutral and based on your environment, team capability, and budget.
Our FortiGate/SonicWall hasn't been updated in years. How serious is that?
Potentially very serious. Both vendors have had critical RCE (remote code execution) and authentication bypass CVEs in the past two years that are actively exploited. If your firewall is internet-facing and running firmware more than 12 months out of date, it's a realistic attack surface. The risk assessment starts with a firmware CVE check against your current version — this takes less than 30 minutes and will tell you immediately whether you're exposed to any known exploited vulnerabilities.
Can you help us design network segmentation, not just configure existing equipment?
Yes — network segmentation design is a core part of most firewall engagements. This includes VLAN architecture (separating user, server, guest, IoT, and management traffic), inter-VLAN ACL design to enforce least-privilege between segments, and validating that segmentation is actually enforced rather than misconfigured to pass all traffic. For Meraki environments, the most common finding is that site-to-site VLANs are configured but the inter-VLAN ACLs default to allow-all.
Do you work with Microsoft Azure Firewall and cloud-native deployments?
Yes. Azure Firewall policy, hub-spoke architecture, and Firewall Manager are supported. For organizations moving workloads to Azure, we design the cloud firewall alongside the on-premises perimeter — or manage the full migration from hardware appliances to cloud-native controls. This is increasingly common for US SMBs standardizing on Microsoft 365 and Azure.
